Q7: What is your favorite card (both in terms of the deck’s artwork and divinatory meaning)? OK, so I can only narrow this down to three favorite cards and three favorite decks.

My First Tarot Spread: 30-Question Challenge Q6
Q6: What was the first spread you learned? Celtic Cross, of course. Must be the most-used, most traditional spread in the Tarot reading world.
